A new window is coming

Last night the St. John's Altar Guild met for their annual meeting and they voted to purchase a new window for the chapel. One window, installed in 1859 and intended to be 'temporary' was damaged by age and had to be removed. It was a "grisaille" window - which is a painted grey decorative glass that was intended to be a 'space-filler' until memorials could be donated as the parish grew in time.

The altar guild chose as a theme the old testament heroine Ruth. We will have to work with a studio to have a window designed, and hopefully we will have the new window installed by Fall. It will be a complimentary design to the windows on that wall in the chapel, and a match in design (but a different figure) as this Annunciation window in the matching space to the other side of the altar in the chapel.
